Three important events have prepared the ground for the Summit:
The High-Level Expert Forum on How to Feed the World in 2050 examined policy options that governments should consider adopting to ensure that the world population can be fed when it nears its peak of nearly 9.2 billion people in the middle of this century.
The Committee on World Food Security considered reforms that will enable it to play a much more effective role in the global governance of food security.
